New McKinsey research shows that the CFO’s role in digital has grown significantly in recent years. The percentage of finance chiefs surveyed who are responsible for their companies’ digital activities has more than tripled between 2016 and 2021, from 9% to 31%, McKinsey found. “The CFOs I work with are going through their own professional development journey in a different way than they used to five or seven years ago,” says Ankur Agrawal, Partner, McKinsey & Company. “The skills they need now include a lot more technology awareness and literacy.” We look forward to a great panel discussion about CFOs’ growing role on the front lines of decision-making and investment in their companies’ digital transformations.”
